UsesAdd some cocoa powder and your favourite natural liquid sweetener of choice for a chocolate version. Cocoa powder may dry the mix, particularly for harder nuts, so the liquid may be needed to avoid having to add oil.

It’s best to buy a peanut butter that’s just peanuts and salt, without added palm or other oils. Even though this (technically legume) nut butter is often the cheapest, it’s smarter to choose a variety and enjoy the health benefits of other options too! Hazelnut butter Use warm nuts to blend– If you’re wondering why roast the nuts in the first place, well it is optional of course. However, roasting the nuts/seeds allow their oils to begin releasing, and they become much easier to blend. Roasting nuts, in particular, also reduces their phytate content and makes them easier to digest. If using raw nuts/seeds, you may need to add some additional oil to the recipe, but I like to avoid this whenever possible. Just remember, using these spreads interchangeably will cause whatever you pair it with to taste quite different due to the massively different flavor profiles!

Usually an amount that I’ll happily eat within 1-2 weeks- so none goes to waste. These flavour options include: Peanuts and pistachio nuts have slightly fewer calories than other nuts (but are still high in calories); hazelnuts and almonds are lowest in saturated fat.
